Wild Discovery

Lovely little place, The staff were all lovely too, it is a small place but the Kids were definitely entertained for about 1-2hours and they got to see animals you wouldn't normally and we witnessed the feeding of them and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable. Once we were done here we did go for a short walk to the playgrounds that are close which is great on a sunny day! It's a great place for a day out especially since you can re enter wild discovery if you want to once you're done exploring everything else

Really enjoyed our visit, the animals are fabulous and the keepers so knowledgeable. All the staff were very friendly. The bat enclosure was great and we loved the leaf cutting ant exhibit. We did the Arctic Fox and Binturong feeding experience, which was brilliant. The whole day was good value for money and we'll definitely visit again in Summer.

Awesome little zoo. You can potter round at your own speed and not miss anything. There are shows on , we watched the bird show which was very interesting and informative. The gentleman who did the show was great. Watched a show on the Otters and Binturong which was fascinating. I have never seen a Binturong. The girl who did the talk was very good. Knowledgeable and informative again. Well worth watching the show/ feeding There’s animals I’ve never seen in other zoos here which was a nice experience. There is plenty of parking. If you’re staying at Ribby hall you have to visit. You don’t need a full day to come here but a good few hours and you will see everything around the zoo There are toilets on site also Tickets are £8.95 for adults , £7.50 for children (3-16 years) Family passes are available as well. Enjoyed my visit to Wild Discovery and would visit again.

Lovely little zoo with very friendly staff. Everything was clean and all the animals look like they are well taken care of. I absolutely loved the bat enclosure where we can walk through with them flying above and around us. I did the capybara experience and it was definitely the highlight of my day, the zoo keeper was personable, funny and very knowledgeable. We also went to another talk about otters and binturong and it was very interesting too. I look forward to coming back in the future when new animals arrive :)

A smaller zoo located inside Ribby Hall Village, Kirkham, Peston. While they may not have some of the larger animals eg Elephants, Giraffes they make up for this in their attention to visitors and experiences offered. Experiences : you can pay a little extra to feed certain animals. £10-£45 depending on animal eg capybara are in the higher bracket, you get 30mins in with them but the tickets sell out fast. The zoo is new, been operating for 7 years when you take into account the likes of Chester Zoo and Blackpool Zoo. Family of 4 entry only £30. The site of the zoo could be covered in 2 hours if your just viewing the exhibits/habitats. This leaves the rest of the village to explore. You can also leave to zoo and come back in, same day, just keep your entry tickets available for viewing but I found I could pop out, have a vape then re enter which I did twice on the visit. We opted for the feeding experience for the Bats, Birds of prey, Binturong and artic fox's. The keepers were amazing and very knowledgeable about each animal telling us about each one, where they are from etc. Capybaras were sold out but we watched as another couple went into the enclosure to feed them. We booked our tickets in advance, now, not knowing if it was just because it was a weekday it did look like a few of the attendees were from the village site and just paid on entry. There were little to no ques and even though the site is smaller the visitors weren't stepping on each other to view the animals or get around. Single prams are no issue getting around from what I could see from guests with toddlers/babies. Double prams/side by side could have a couple of issues getting around some of the busier/tighter areas eg wild cat pathway. Overall it was well worth every penny we spent. My daughter's loved it and I could if stayed in with the bats all day. We got there at opening which was 10:30am and left at 16:35.

Every member of the staff was soo lovely and knowledgeable. We went to a bird of prey talk, and did the capybara experience. We had a lot of fun, we fed and stroked capybaras, and listened to the zoo keeper teaching us about the animals. Lovely time! The zoo is pretty tiny, but well kept. I think you can spend 2-2.5h there. The Arctic fox enclosure was great, and we also really enjoyed leaf cutting ants display. I'm glad the zoo is also doing some conservation work for wild animals/environment 💗
